    Even with only a yellow card, ALB started the rot with that enthusiastic but dumb arse tackle.

    The long forward pass was right in front of me. Gardner seemed asleep. The TMO needs to do their job and not just pick and choose when to intervene.

    I know I keep banging on about it, but he's just not up to standard.

    Not to mention his absolutely needless penalty on halfway a few minutes earlier.

    That's B/S, it's always B/S when twats do stuff like this, but it's a minority.

    I can understand the booing of the ref at game, especially in the heat of the moment, but I really don't understand doing it to the players during the trophy ceremony etc.

    You know on reflection of the game, and last few games of season, I would argue that Scott Barrett is close to best rugby player in the country this year. He has been immense!
    Will ad in Narawa we got a pretty good right wing too in ABs too!

    Totally agree about both players. Scott has a big engine and competes on every play. Narawa has that top end speed that gives players extra time but seems so well balanced in his all round game.

    Unfortunately the internet gives any munter the opportunity to act like a feral fluffybunny.

    It’s sport for fucks sake, get over it and worry about more pressing problems like having to live in Hamilton.

    That’s the second time I have read a review with LF given a 9? Didn’t think he had as much impact on this game as prior games. Abrasive but didn’t break any tackles on attack.

    Yeah, the Chiefs looked after him well, and Narawa showed him up for pace a few times. Good industrious game but a 9? Nah.

    He won 2 or 3 breakdown steals/turnovers which were crucial.

    @kev defensively he was a machine and playing like a 4th loosie. A little quieter in attack and that is in large part to a very good defensive system that McMillan runs. But he was still well involved carting the ball up.

    @pakman You have to realise that if they had gone back for the scrum for the forward pass that the entire game would have changed from that point. Without a crystal ball we will never know who would have won in that case.

    Surprised he wasn’t HIA’d also, the head impact looked similar for both players

    TMO can't come in for those calls any more. (I think.)

    Unless there had been a try scored they can suggest there is a check maybe

    Great final. I am disappointed the Crusaders won obviously but the Chiefs only had themselves to blame with the tone set early with ALB, who should have seen red. Would have been interesting to see how the game would have played out if the refs had made that decision. Still some immense efforts on both sides including the return of Sam Whitelock who is still NZ's premier lock who disrupted the Chiefs line out frequently

    Well done Crusaders

    And in this case there was a stoppage (lineout).
